Check your graphics driver. There should be some settings there. Normally, when the monitor is disconnected it should go back.<br />
Are you removing the cable while the laptop is on or off?<br />

You need to find your display drivers. They should be on the HP site. If you're not sure you can check your device manager.

I Think this is fairly simple. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I have an HP Compaq 6510b. &nbsp;I use it's screen and an additional 19 inch monitor for dual monitor display. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I can turn it on and off manually. &nbsp;My problem is, when I head out for the day, I don't always remember to turn it off, and it's just a pain to go in later and change.<br />
<br />
Is there a setting or something that can detect when the external Monitor is NOT hooked up and switch it back to single display mode automatically? <br />
<br />
Any Help would be awesome.

Dual Monitor Questions

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
